Unexpected Leg Room

Caught this little tidbit in the Toronto Star today.


The Grand Prix formerly known as the Molson Indy clearly had attendance issues on Sunday afternoon. As a 10-12 time Thunder Alley veteran, Sheena can personally attest to the BBQ pit lineups, waiting list for the beer gardens and porta-potty toilet paper outages in years past. Not so in 2006.

There were very real gaps in the stands even 10 minutes before race start yesterday. The chickenality of not announcing attendance figures despite the very real competition of the World Cup finale smacks of PR coverup. You can only use the line "Oh.. well...he's in the bathroom right now" so many times, Mr. Race Organizers...

I constantly shun cold hard numbers in my various ventures. It's the mind's gentle way of sheilding one from one's inadequacies....
